"Sew" Easy - Diaper Covers!

I FINALLY got my Brother 1034D serger out of the box. I've had it for several months now but was a little intimidated. I knew I didn't want to mess with it unless I had several hours to scour over the manual and do a bunch of test sewing. Using it really was pretty easy. Threading is a bit more challenging, but getting easier. I have a LOT to learn.

Anyways, to put my new serger to work, I thought I'd give a new, and SUPER EASY pattern a try. I did have to use my sewing machine too to make the elastic casings, but used the serger to sew up the sides and bottom. I think I'm in LOVE. I LOVE that it looks professional!

Check it out! These are the ones I made for Carson...



She has several patterns available, up to 12-24 months. These were the 12-24 month size, but I probably could have added a little to it. I think I also messed up with the new serger. The pattern didn't stay if I was supposed to serge at just the edges or serge using the normal 5/8" seam allowance, so I might have taken more off than I was supposed to. Next time I make, I'm going to make them a little bigger all the way around and maybe add an inch so they fully cover his diaper at the top. Carson is definitely pushing the 24-month size clothes.

Yes, these are a little snug... but look at that sweet booty!


These are perfect in the summer and for little girls to wear under their dresses, they are like bloomers. I think I will be making a lot more of these in the future in all kinds of fun prints!
